Does anyone know if there is a version of the DAT thats twice as tricky as the rest??
I have taken the test before and remember thinking it was pretty straight forward but I took it during a natural disaster and I was far from rested and my mind was all over the place.

This last time the Bio section was mostly application questions.

The G-Chem section consisted of all theory stuff... And not theory like what is stronger dispersion forces or ionic bonding?... or. How many unfilled electrons in a certain sub-shell ....It was all out there theory. I kept praying for an equation..I only had 2..haha

O_chem- was ok

The reading section had an ethics article with answers that were all theoretical and inferences..kinda crazy??

The Math section had 3 straight forward equations and the rest were story problems...I remember thinking " I don't know if I even have enough time to even just read through these" haha..

I took My DAT the first time in 2007 and again in 2008 did the ADA change the criteria for areas of focus?? I didn't think to look..

I thought the same thing..i think we took the same test, but seems like everyone else is doing okay...i hated that ethics on RC and many math q's...i even missed the last one...guessed some

hey jibjab, have you used the destroyer??

 

[jibjab]

Ya Destroyer is great!
I would definitely supplement with one of the others...Kaplan or topscore(which i did not use)
